Yet, if they needed better training, I don’t know why that would be a problem? If the squad was green or were making tactical mistakes, what would be the problem with him helping out? Maybe he had better instincts for that sort of thing. And thanks for your service!

Wouldn't happen. That would be an absolute loss of command and control on the part of that squad leader. He'd be court marshalled.

Besides, unless the Marine Corps has drastically changed since I was in, the Marine grunts would tell that Seal where to go in no uncertain terms.

Watch the YouTube videos of the Marines re-taking Fallujah and tell me if you think they need re-training.

Combat is not Hollywood.

Oh, thanks for the hat tip!

Semper Fi!
